Chapter 32 Martinez's Long Pass

"Arsenal's rhythm is very stable, but Chelsea also showed a strong offensive attitude on the road. They played extremely resolutely in every counterattack."

Paul Merson laughed; "Chelsea is telling everyone that they are not here for the so-called draw, but to win and take away three points from the Emirates Stadium!"

Chelsea's several counterattacks in the first half were very good and threatening.

If Hummels and Jimenez were not in good condition, a small mistake could cause Arsenal to concede a goal.

This also puts a certain amount of pressure on Arsenal's defense.

However, Arsenal is not in a hurry. What they need most at this time is to stabilize their mentality and look for loopholes in the opponent's defense bit by bit.

Even if there are no loopholes, it is through offense and pressure that the opponent will have loopholes.

Lucky gave an encouraging thumbs up to his own defense.

It has to be said that after the start of this season, Arsenal's defense has once again increased their overall defensive intensity.

This is not to say that the central defender partnership of Koscielny + Mustafi is not good, but they definitely cannot play with such defensive intensity, especially in terms of defensive stability.

The advantage of the former lies in the linkage with the midfielder, while the latter relies more on its own abilities.

This also reduces the pressure on Lucky and the midfielder to a certain extent.

Lucky exhaled slowly and adjusted his breathing.

He needs to continue to find holes in Chelsea's defence.

Arsenal's offense began to become more intense, especially the forward penetration on the two wings was extremely active.

Sometimes the full-backs even run up to join the attack.

Bellerin's speed and Robertson's passing have greatly promoted the game, especially the latter's cross to Lukaku, which even threatened the ball twice in a row.

However, Chelsea's defense seems to be in good shape, and Arsenal has not been able to score.

In the 33rd minute, Chelsea suddenly launched an attack.

The ball passed to Hazard.

This time, Hazard did not force a breakthrough. Instead, he smashed the ball inside to open his position, and immediately tried a long shot.

The ball missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Although they failed to score, the shot shocked Arsenal.

The Chelsea players also shook their heads with some regret.

Azar looked even more depressed.

Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez took the ball from the ball boy and placed it on the line of the small penalty area to prepare for a penalty kick.

Recently, Martinez's continuous training of long passes has had good results, especially the cooperation with Aubameyang has a good chemical reaction.

At this time, he noticed that Chelsea's retracement speed was not fast.

Some people even have no intention of turning around and catching the ball.

Seeing this, Martinez quickly retreated and swung his big foot.

The goalkeeper can also participate in the attack!

The ball flew high, and the pass went very far, crossing the half court and flying between Aubameyang and Azpilicueta.

Seeing this landing point, Azpilicueta's eyelids jumped.

This is the most uncomfortable landing point.

Should he fight for the first point?

When he saw Aubameyang start, Azpilicueta gritted his teeth and rushed forward immediately.

Both of them were rushing towards the ball quickly.

Azpilicueta feels that the ball is flying towards him, so he will arrive at the landing point one step ahead.

But in fact, he underestimated Aubameyang's speed.

When he saw that Aubameyang was about to reach the landing point, but he was still a certain distance away from the landing point, Azpilicueta panicked at this moment!

Aubameyang stretched out his foot and dunked lightly, and the ball flew inside.

Aubameyang also quickly changed direction and passed Azpilicueta.

At this time, Azpilicueta had to slow down and turn around first, and by the time he turned around, he had already lost track of him.

"Oops!!"

Azpilicueta was extremely flustered.

Also panicked was Chelsea's defense.

"Beautiful!!! Martinez, a precise goal-line kick! Azpilicueta had a problem with his judgment of the landing point. He was easily passed by Aubameyang. Chelsea's defense suffered This is the biggest challenge in this game, what are they going to do?”

David Silva has rushed towards Aubameyang.

But before the opponent could get close to him, Aubameyang passed the ball laterally.

The ball came to Lucky who happened to be in position.

Lucky stopped the ball and pretended to shoot. After deceiving the opponent's central defender to block the ball, he sent the ball forward.

Lukaku moved forward smartly and faced the goalkeeper alone.

Lukaku pushed the ball against the arch of his foot. Because the distance was too close, the goalkeeper didn't even react, and the ball grazed the near post and entered the goal.

In the 34th minute, Arsenal launched an attack with the goalkeeper's goal line kick and actually completed a beautiful goal!

"pretty!!!!--"

At the coaching bench, Mourinho pumped his fist excitedly.

He is celebrating this attack!

This is the effect he wants the goalkeeper to have when he attacks.

The placement of Martinez's goal-line kick was very precise, which interfered with Azpilicueta's judgment of the placement.

Seeing that Chelsea did not retrace enough, he took the ball decisively.

It can be said that this goal created a new offensive routine for Arsenal.

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!! Lukaku!!! A beautiful push!!"

"But we need to pay attention to Martinez, our goalkeeper launched an excellent attack for the first time!!"

"An excellent long pass directly laid the foundation for the goal!!"

"This goal is simply amazing!!"

The on-site commentator George Adams also cheered loudly.

This goal surprised everyone, mainly because Martinez's long pass was simply amazing.

Whether it is the timing, angle or landing point, it is perfect.

It caught the opponent off guard.

Martinez joined Arsenal in 2010. After six years of loan career, he has finally gradually adjusted his condition.

Especially during the injury of the main goalkeeper, Martinez ushered in a period of outbreak.

It can be said that once his condition is stable, with his passing ability, he can improve Mourinho's status in his heart, and it is not impossible for him to be the main goalkeeper.

"Well done! Buddy!"

After retreating, Lekai took the initiative to find Martinez to high-five.

The latter was also very excited.

Martinez pointed to his right foot and said excitedly; "Just now I felt that it was a good opportunity, and this pass felt great. You also seized the opportunity, which is simply great!"

Lekai smiled and patted the other's shoulder, saying; "This time, try to hit the right side!"

Hearing this, Martinez's face froze and said awkwardly; "For the time being, I can only hit the left side!"

"Ah?"

Lekai tilted his head.

Martinez coughed dryly and said; "It's a bit crooked to kick the right side!"

Hearing this, Lekai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is still a student with a partial subject!

"Go back and practice again! Pass to Aubameyang when you have a chance. The opponent must guard against your pass!"

"Yeah!"

Martinez nodded repeatedly.

He was also very curious about the weapon he had just developed, and he wanted to pass the ball with every kick.

But this is unrealistic.

This pass needs to have a deterrent effect, rather than wasting opportunities again and again.

Sure enough, Chelsea's defense line did not dare to retreat too deep, and the midfielders also pulled towards the two sides.

As long as Martinez stood at the goal line, these guys immediately dispersed and did not dare to stand together.

They did not know that Martinez could only pass to the left, so Mane's right side was also taken care of.

But with this loose position, Arsenal's penetration and advancement were smoother.

And it was not just Martinez. When Lucky retreated, they had to beware of Lucky's long pass.

Compared with Martinez, Lucky's long pass was more threatening.

At this moment, Chelsea was not only behind by one goal, but also in a passive situation on the field.

In the Chelsea coaching seat, Conte also looked anxious.

Martinez's sudden pass disrupted their rhythm and plan.

God knows how this guy can suddenly come up with such a kick!

Now they not only have to leave Arsenal's midfield and full-backs, but also have to guard against the goalkeeper.

Arsenal's passing points are a bit outrageous!

Bang! !

The crossbar of Chelsea's goal is shaking.

Lukaku rubbed his head in frustration.

On the ground, David Luiz looked depressed.

In the physical confrontation just now, he couldn't resist Lukaku, who carried him and volleyed directly.

The ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

With just a little angle, they almost lost the ball again.
